Celebrating Stories, Well Told

Join us June 7 – 10 in the nation’s capital as we celebrate the art of photography and the stories behind the images. For four days, Focus on the Story will convene some of the top names in photography. We want to bring together a community of photography lovers for a series of outstanding keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops, exhibits, portfolio reviews, photowalks and community events.

Whether you are a professional, amateur, enthusiast or curious, here is your chance to spend four days celebrating, learning, seeing, living and breathing photography. What could be better, right?

Join us in the heart of D.C.'s famous Dupont Circle

With the District’s iconic buildings, monuments and memorials as the backdrop, there is no better setting to fire up your passion for photography.

The hub of activities for the inaugural Focus on the Story International Photo Festival will be at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, where you’ll be only steps away from a vibrant selection of bars, restaurants and hotels, as well as the Metro’s Red Line.
